  1. Related to the thread. 2 years ago I got referred to local hospital in UK as a brown mark/mole had appeared on face (I heavily stay in the sun I freely acknowledge) Dr wasnt happy so within 4 days (fair play NHS) i'm up the skin clinic. Intially Dr says not quite sure let me call in senior consultant Duly turns up 20 minutes later gets his magnifying glass out and says nahh its ok its not melanoma but "keep an eye on it any changes let us know" Whilst it looked quite prominent (to me) nobody has ever commented over it including 2 guys on this forum Fast forward to 4 d
  2. Just go on to Travel Supermarket See the flights you want and click through. It tells you what baggage is included. If you then insist on paying more for your flight then go direct to the airline site and book there !! How come I've never had a single problem using agents lol.....when I have needed to get hold of customer service their responses have been superb and proactive (and I needed that service as recently as March when the airline itself didnt answer via Twitter Facebook Email and offices closed at weekends to phone calls.....22 minutes it took for Travel Trolley to res
  3. Saudi included checked bag on pricing I gave above. No idea on seat selection. I always wait until online check in opens and select aisle seat without paying any airline Never sat anywhere other than aisle. Check in block off seats in advance knowing only to well people will ask at check in. Nothing is likely to piss off a passenger more than being told at check in middle seat only (if you're arriving 3 hours early) and airlines want you to fly with them again rather than going elsewhere next time Edited in...Yes Cathay includes 1 checked bag or at least from London
  4. I'm looking to go start of October and come back end of March 2025 Saudi keep popping up at around £560 slightly longer transit times than I'd normally do but on 6 month trip no real issue (or least obviously outbound !) Eva is popping up around £690 using Travel Supermarket Not too many carriers showing at the moment as most (but not all) dont quote until the return sector is within 330 days of the current date Might just do what I did this year and one way out and sort out teturn next year
  5. Internet rate at a 6 year high at 45.81 Surmising that yellow TT's will be around 45.50 locally Dollar Baht interbank at 36.03 aiding us all nicely
  6. I'd imagine Eva is pretty rammed most of the time If you run flight price checks they invariably are cheaper than 90% of carriers going via their hub
  7. ......and thats why I wanted it left on the main board Seriously the board can go 24 hours without a post in the main sub forum so I start a thread (certainly 100% relevant to myself) I ask for it to be left there if possible (clearly politely) and yet minutes later its moved quite deliberately AJ if that was subtle pop it went over my shoulder and is currently floating down the English Channel I'll ask the question elsewhere instead where I should have put it in the first place.....disappointing
  8. Move the thread if you think appropriate but leave here if possible for now Am looking to update a Sim from Truemove which is still "live" or replace it with DTAC or AIS Simply looking for monthly deals on data....not on calls whatsoever Fot yonks I was using a short code on True which was an "always on" unlimited data connection and around 212 Baht for a month.....speed was throttled after 1GB was reached but it didnt matter as was only used for Messaging Email etc etc What have you guys got. Am not interested in going Lazada or anything like that just a simple short code.
  9. No problem.....its an extremely deceptive way of pricing when it "lands" like that My original screenshot I had cut off the dates which included the return. Only when I clicked through does it become clear that the price is only for outbound sector Very deceptive (PS someone tell that Pensioner with the Thai Wife that always flys Qatar that I know its always him with the childish emoji)
  10. If you go Travel Trolley the preferred agent I mentioned before here are the flights same day. (inbound different departure hour)
  11. Ouch ouch ouch !!!! No its not....click through to the booking and that price is ONLY for the outbound flight !!! You then have to add the inbound price lol
  12. Great find Sinbin am astonished at those fares and thought at first there has to be extras on that but you can see from screenshot 25kgs bag included etc 10/5 to 10/6 departing Gatwick which even more astonishingly is a Saturday on the inbound Edited.....I cant get anywhere near that same days using my preferred agent in fact its £573 with Singapore.....!! Thats a fantastic price in the current climate. Its got to be a promotion by Qatar and fair play to them
  13. Sinbin where are you seeing Qatar sub £420 for May/June ??
  14. What makes Skiathos even more dangerous is the huge slope and the fact its water and the runway literally metres apart.....theres no threshold so to speak They take off in same direction they land and the pilot of our TUI aircraft came on to pre warn there would be a lot of noise pre the aircraft moving on its take off roll......because of additional slope issues they have to spool the engines as high as they dare whilst still holding it on the brakes Then they let it go.....at the top end there is a sheer drop into the sea
  15. That video was on main GMB news at 6am this morning on ITV ! If you watch right to the end though it shows what they think was an even lower entry from an Italian carrier in 2013
  16. I did laugh reading this over the Skiathos low landings in Greece..... I went there in 2015 with one of my own lads and we stood at the end of the runway by the water one afternoon.....stand on me its makes the low landing and jet wash blasts at St Maarten in the Caribbean seem like a nursey outing in comparison Watch and enjoy the bystanders shit themselves..... After first part watch it from 1.30 for side view lol which is even more revealing how low the motor was
  17. Duct tape lol its a wonder some can tie their shoelaces
  18. https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/qatar-airways/qatar-airways-cargo/boeing-777-hits-light-pole-at-chicago-ohare-airport/ Painfully expensive doubtless
  19. I thought fares would be be coming down on that November month long trip as more airlines come back online. The Fuel issue despite what many claim is not the sole reason and Avgas is hedged typically a year in advance Fares have stayed high to say the least with transit times obscene because of lack of seats/flights Eva is coming out cheapest virtually every time astonishing for a non stop trip when traditionally they were always more expensive
  20. Couldnt agree more sinbin I rent out both bedrooms to lodgers again after 2 years with only 1 room rented to a Police guy who recently left Both now occupied again and I charge cheap rents and pick and choose who comes in......tax free for first £7500 annual as well money for old rope it really is
  21. Yes I can find Eva for cheaper than I spoke about in post above Can get it for £587 elsewhere which is hardly much higher than pre covid
  22. Have just run those original dates again and just the two "cheapest" fares have screenshotted using same agent Travel Trolley Gulf unless you're a glutton for punishment because of the inbound transit is useless and 2nd cheapest Cathay is a long routing especially coming home having done it twice one way in the 90's Eva was 3rd cheapest at £644
  23. I didnt get a response to email. If you guys want to close the thread feel free. Looks like for any myriad of reasons he's no longer active in the Condo market
  24. I've just emailed the address Force kindly screenshotted If I get a response will update the thread
